The “old cemetery” at E. Wayne-st and North Park-av was a beautiful burial plot 75 years ago but in recent years it has become an eyesore and the property may become the site of a factory. A proposal to disinter approximately 1200 bodies for reburial to other locations was presented by the cemetery trustees, GEORGE METHEANY, CLINT HOVER and M. A. ATMUR and has been approved by the surgeon-general of the United States. The long abandoned cemetery contains the bodies of about 60 persons who died of cholera in 1851 and others were buried there during the smallpox epidemic in 1871. Many veterans of the War of 1812 and the Civil war were buried in the “old cemetery”. Many of Lima’s pioneers were laid to rest in the cemetery, including Major General WILLIAM J. BLACKBURN, who was buried in May, 1858 with full military honors. Numerous gravestones in the abandoned graveyard have toppled over and vandals have desecrated the cemetery in many ways.
